Thank You for Smoking

Jason Reitman delivers an astonishingly funny and astounding indie film with "Thank You for Smoking". The film stars Aaron Eckhart as the pitchman/lobbyist for Big Tobacco. To say his character could sell sand to a bushman is an understatment. The highlight of the film is the MOD Squad - Mechants of Death - lunches he hold with his counterparts in the alcohol and firearms industries. A must see movie for everyone and not just the art-house crowd.

Slither

This film is a comedic throw-back to the old 50s and 60s sci-fi thrillers we all loved as children. Michael Rooker is fantastic as the local town bastard who gets turned into a slimely, parasite spewing monster who is only looking for love. Nathan Fillon, the local put-up-on sherrif, delivers comedy goal as he tries to keep order and save the life of the girl he lost to Rooker. This movie is a popcorm muncher with the lights out and the sound turned up for all the squishy goodness. Rent it and have a good laugh.
